dc.description.abstract | This study investigates bioenergy applications and sustainable development in Uganda. Traditional
biomass dominates Uganda’s energy mix with 89% of overall primary energy consumption. Uganda
must reduce traditional biomass energy consumption, if it is to reinforce its sustainable
development goals. It seeks to assess bioenergy applications; it also analyses drivers and barriers
of biomass consumption.
Bioenergy is a renewable energy source that is conveniently available. This explains why it is
dominating in most of the Sub-Saharan Africa. However, most of this is the traditional biomass,
because of the insufficient technology to modernise its use in the developing world. This study is to
provide a useful pattern for this transition from traditional to modern bioenergy use to occur.
The findings indicate an in-built use of traditional biomass because of the drivers that outweigh the
constraints of its use. Suggested policy measures to transition to modern biomass energy
consumption are made.
This study provides critical review of bioenergy application and development in the Ugandan
setting. This is a landmark in informing the economic planner on the right policy direction of
diversifying energy use from traditional to modern sources. | en_US |
